Spray from high pressure nozzles can penetrate the skin and
cause serious injury. Keep spray from contacting hands or
body.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any high
pressure spray injected into the skin must be surgically removed
within a few hours or gangrene may result. Doctors unfamiliar
with this type of injury should reference a knowledgeable
medical source. Such information is available from Deere &

NEVER fill the engine fuel tank while the unit is running or hot.
Allow the engine to cool two minutes before refueling. DO NOT
refuel indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. ALWAYS refuel
slowly to avoid the possibility of spilled fuel which may cause a
risk of fire.
DO NOT operate the unit if gasoline is spilled. Wipe unit clean
and move the unit away from the spill. Avoid creating any
ignition until the gasoline has evaporated.
Use only an approved fuel container. Use only non-metal, por-
table fuel containers approved by the Underwriter’s Laboratory
(UL) or the American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM). If
using a funnel, make sure it is plastic and has no screen for filter.
Remove fuel-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and
refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment with a portable container, rather than from a fuel dis-
penser nozzle.
